The Area
Villa Ampeli is located in the southeast of Sicily, less than 2km from the village and glorious sandy beach of Sampieri.
The local area is blessed with numerous other idyllic beaches, and within 10 to 15 minutes' drive, one can be basking on the sands of Marina di Modica, Cava d'Aliga and Donnalucata. All have lidos, restaurants and water sports facilities. Marina di Ragusa, a buzzing seaside town with beach is also nearby.
In terms of culture and history, Villa Ampeli is extremely well positioned: the delightful baroque town of Scicli, which has a good range of restaurants, shops, bars, cafés and gelaterie, is just 15 minutes' drive away. If you think you recognise it, it's probably because its old town centre was one of major locations used in the Inspector Montalbano TV series.
The other baroque pearls of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage Site, including Modica, Ragusa and Noto, are within easy reach.
Slightly further afield, yet also within easy driving distance, is the multi-millennial town of Syracuse and the unspoilt beaches of coastal scenery of Vendicari Nature Reserve.
